Paper Tigers

Love Will Come to You

I guess I wasn't the best one to ask
me myself, with my face pressed up against love's glass
to see the shiny toy, the one I'm hoping for
the one I never could afford

The wide world spins and spits turmoil
and the nations toil, for peace
the paws of fear upon your chest
only love can soothe that beast
and my words are paper tigers, no match for the pedator of pain inside her

and I say love will come to you
hoping just because i spoke the words that their true
as if I offered up a crystal ball to look through
where there's now one, there will be two

I was born under the sign of cancer
like brushing cloth i smooth the wrinkles for an answer
I'm always closing my eyes, and wishing you fine
even though I know you're not this time

and I say love will come to you
hoping just because i spoke the words that their true
as if I offered up a crystal ball to look through
where there's now one there will be two

and I wish her insight, to battle love's blindness
straight from the milk of human kindness
a safe place for all the pieces that scatter
learn to pretend there's more than love that matters...

I hate you. Please don't leave me...
